All That Paper

How many rolls of paper towels and, god forbid, paper napkins does your kitchen go through in a month? I have to admit I still use paper towels from time to time (though they are not at all necessary when you think about it, and really should be a bit more antiquated by now). Anyway, I'm on a mission to divorce the convenient little suckers entirely. (And, for that matter, to work my way towards a plastic free kitchen... but that is a subject for another time.)

For those of us who have not yet parted with paper towels, and of course all of us who buy all those boxes of tissues and rolls of toilet paper every week, Greenpeace has come out with another one of their handy little booklets, letting us know which brands are earth friendly. So don't let a picture of some green leaves on the packaging fool you. Be a savvy shopper. And then go hug a tree.
